Arsenal were appalling as they were beaten 3-0 by Manchester City in the Carabao Cup final

"It was a hard game, but as much space there was for us and Arsenal, we did well and controlled the space and I am proud of the team", said City skipper Kompany.

Nigerian striker Kelechi Iheanacho has congratulated his former Manchester City teammates over their League Cup win over Arsenal on Sunday, February 25.

Asked if Guardiola was the best coach he has ever had, the 29-year-old said: "I truly believe so".

I saw the City vs Arsenal at home with a mate.

City face Arsenal at Emirates Stadium on Thursday, four days on from easing past Arsene Wenger's men 3-0 at Wembley to lift the Carabao Cup.

Kevin De Bruyne has his eyes on a trophy treble after hailing City as the best footballing team in the world.

However, a second trophy in the Premier League seems merely a matter of time with City enjoying a 13-point lead over Manchester United with a game in hand.

"The potential for this club is wonderful, and the way we play is probably one of the best in the world".

"He made them understand what he likes to do".

But Wenger insisted the focus would be on their next Premier League fixture rather than their last-16 tie against European heavyweights AC Milan in the continent's second-tier event.

Where has it gone wrong for Arsenal and Arsene Wenger? It is was not easy after that game, the feelings of the players. Tottenham Hotspur have a two-point advantage over Chelsea in the race for a spot in the Champions League after they secured a nervy 1-0 win over Crystal Palace.

There are reports other deputies also failed to enter the building and waited outside with their guns holstered behind their cars. When Tapper pressed the sheriff on whether, as Peterson's boss, he had some responsibility for that failure, Israel bristled.

The only player with a similar makeup is Cowboys lineman DeMarcus Lawrence , but he is expected to resign with Dallas soon. If he plays under the tag - Detroit has until July to work out a long-term deal - he'll make about $17.5 million in 2018.

Man Utd striker Lukaku feels he deserves more recognition
But the game's decisive solution came in the shape of the exuberant Lingard, who scored two minutes after Hazard's withdrawal. "Every single player has to try to work with and without the ball, otherwise we lose our balance and then we lose the game".

Sergio Aguero opened the scoring with a well-taken chip before Vincent Kompany and David Silva struck after the break to sew up a convincing win. This was something they had seen before.

Arsenal have not challenged and neither, over the long term anyway, have Liverpool, so City should have put their foot down and accelerated away from the pack long before now.

One young Arsenal fan was caught on camera inconsolable in floods of tears.

"When they haven't got the ball too many of them don't see danger, they don't close down".

"How can Wenger, if he loves this club, leave them in this state?"

That broke Arsenal and Silva ended the contest by finishing a slick move with a lethal left-footed strike after 65 minutes.

Mesut Ozil, fresh from signing a new contract, was anonymous while, for all the talk of Jack Wilshere's rejuvenation, he struggled to exert any influence against midfield operators of the calibre City possess. So, if Arsenal's game plan was to sit back and counter, why didn't they ensure their passing on the transitions were accurate?

City and Guardiola should harbour no such doubts.

Manchester City defeated Arsenal 3-0 in the League Cup final to win their first trophy under manager Pep Guardiola.

The contrast between the two managers, the two teams, could not have been greater.
